Born Without a Clitoris?

[Saibine]

I'm kind of embarrassed to ask this question, but I'm getting quite desperate and confused.

It seems that by some terrible error I was born without a clitoris. Although I am still technically a virgin, I have been with a couple different guys before and none of us were ever able to find it. (believe me, we looked XP) In addition, I really get no pleasure  from down there. Really, you must belive me!

I'm not inhibited, and I wasn't raised by strict Catholic parents, it just doesn't make very much sense. A couple of people have mentioned that it might have to do with my hormone levels. I never really went though a very dramatic  puberty, and a lot of people say I look and sound a lot younger than I am (which is 21) In addition I have absolutely no libido and any contact down there is very uncomfortable (thus I'm still a virgin)

Do you think I am just young and inexperienced, or could there be something physiologically wrong with me?

I am a 70 year old male and had a female friend who is 4 years younger than I. She is in exactly the same situation as what you describe.  No matter how hard I tried I could not find a clitoris.  Also she told me that she has never orgasmed and did not think that such a thing exists!  She is married and has had children.  There is no chance that it had been surgically removed.  There are no scars and in every way the area is unblemished.  Just thought I would share this with you so you know that you are not alone.

I'm kinda relived that I was lucy enough to find this blog, and learned that there are other women with this problem. I am 23 now, and I always thought that I am abnormal and maybe that's a sign. Or I am just really really sc*** up, because I have a lot more thing I don't like about my appareance. And I never found anything about this topic in my maternel language.
Even thougth I am able to reach orgasm with my own hands, I never experienced it with a men (but I always was shy and full of fears)

So I am grateful that you say it's not that abnormal, but I'm still afraid of being rejected because of this, since even if it's not abnormal medically, but it makes me different of other, avarage women.

Do you now any operation or anything I can change my condition?

And sorry for talking  so freely about my feelings, But I am happy, that finally I could share my feelings.

Hi ladies I am a male and I was watching this lecture from somebody called dr phil valentine and he came across this topic about women not having a clitoris, from what I gathered he explained that women never had clitoris and that its a male feature, he goes on to say that in africa if a female had such  a thing tthey would cut it of because they believed it made them more of a women and the clitoris was a  mutation of the body.  if you would like to check this out click onto the link.. I hope this helps.

It's actually the opposite everyone has a clitoris or X but if the baby turns into a boy and a Y is added the clitoris grows into a penis.  they didn't cut them off because they thought it would make women more pure they used to cut off her parts to prevent her from cheating on her male partner. They thought if sex didn't feel good she wouldn't want to do it! Also after cutting they would sew her up and on her wedding night her husband would be able to break her open making sex for him feel very pleasurable but sex for her being very painful! It was a way to manipulate and control women! For men's pleasure! And 2out of 5 girls would die from the procedure!  female circumcision is wrong in every single way

I'm the same way. My boyfriend and I have looked for it for over a year and still nothing. My doctor has never said anything about it, so I didn't think it was a problem until I was sexually active. I still enjoy sex, but I feel like I'm really missing out because I can't orgasm.

Also similarly to you, my puberty was smooth sailing, and even though I'm 20 and fully developed, people who don't know me think I'm still in high school (just this year two people have asked me if I'm 16).

I guess we just drew the short end of the stick :/

I'm surprised that no one has researched the anatomy of the clitoris. Here is a link to recent reliable research:
